Chapter 165: Borrowing a knife to kill
As soon as Meng Baoying returned to Meng's mansion, she was asked by Mrs. Meng, Meng Baoying was not in the mood to be perfunctory, so she dealt with a few words casually. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After thinking about it again, she said to Mrs. Meng: "Auntie, His Royal Highness King Jing has mentioned something to me today, and I want to go and visit the Lord of Mindan. ”
"Lord Mindan? She's been recuperating at home now, what are you going to do with him? "Lady Meng doesn't like the Lord of Mingdan, who is looking for profit.
Meng Baoying smiled mysteriously, and said to Mrs. Meng shyly: "His Royal Highness King Jing said that as his concubine in the future, I should be good friends with the clan, and I only know the lord of Mingdan in the clan, so I will go to visit the lord of Mingdan first." ”
Mrs. Meng didn't know why, but seeing Meng Baoying's confident appearance, she thought it was King Jing's order, so she didn't say more, and only told the stables to obey Meng Baoying's dispatch.
Meng Baoying couldn't come to the door directly, so she first asked someone to send a greeting sticker to the lord of Mingdan.
When the county lord of Mingdan received Meng Baoying's post, he was very strange, and asked Xia He suspiciously: "Who is Meng Baoying?" ”
Xia He often inquired about the gossip in the capital, so he said to the county lord of Mingdan: "Meng Baoying is a person from Jinling, the niece of Lord Meng, the son of the country, and the county lord met him in Jinling last year. This year, she and Xie Yixin went to Beijing together, took refuge in her uncle Meng Ninglu, went on a trip on the Shangsi Festival, met a strong man, and was rescued by King Jing's hero, Wei Guifei heard the rumors, and asked the Queen Mother to reward her to King Jing as a concubine, and after King Jing's wedding, she was included in King Jing's mansion. ”
"A little concubine of King Jing, who wants to come to see the county lord before she has passed the door? And she is also a disgraceful concubine, a hero who saves beauty? I'm afraid it's a trap! Meets a strongman on the festival? Fool it! There are so many daughters by the water, why are you looking for her alone! The Lord of Mindan hated this and threw the prayer post away.
Xia He walked down, picked up the prayer post and returned to the Lord of Mingdan, and whispered: "I heard that the will to give marriage was asked by Wei Guifei to ask the Queen Mother in person. ”
The county lord of Mingdan thought for a moment and said to Xia He: "You reply and let her come tomorrow." ”
Xia He leaned in and said, "The person who handed over the post just now also came in with a message and said that this afternoon is the best, sooner rather than later." ”
"What do you mean?" The Lord of Mindan was puzzled.
Xia He said again: "The case of Xie Yixin's suspected murder of Han Jingru has been handed over to Dali Temple for trial. I heard that Meng Baoying and Xie Yixin have turned against each other and parted ways. ”
"Oh? Aren't they good sisters? Then I should meet and tell the person who came, so that she can come if she has something. "Lord Mindan is a little interested.
Xia He pinched the silver ticket in his sleeve and happily went out to spread the word.
Soon in the afternoon, Meng Baoying came to the door, and Dongmei welcomed her to the flower hall, where the lord of Mingdan was sitting on the throne, tending to the flowers and plants.
"I've seen the county lord!" Meng Baoying is generous.
The lord of Mingdan County did not raise his head, and said directly: "If you have something, just say it." ”
"Xie Yixin has been imprisoned by Dali Temple, doesn't the county lord want to go and see it? And what the death of the Lingsu County Lord is, although I don't know the details, I know that it must be related to Xie Yixin. Meng Baoying said respectfully.
The county lord of Mingdan has always been haunted by Zhou Lingsu's death, and when he heard Meng Baoying say this, he said excitedly: "What do you know? ”
"Although I don't know the specific reason, but now that I think about it, Xie Yixin, who loves to go out the most, suddenly didn't go out for a long time during that period, and Yelu Shao mainly kidnapped was really the county lord of Lingxiu?" Meng Baoying sat down on the chair by herself and said casually.
Lord Mingdan said angrily: "I'll just say, Lingxiu has never liked to go out to attract bees and butterflies, how can she be favored by Young Master Yelu?" It turned out to be a graft, what a Xie Yixin! ”
Meng Baoying said again: "I just think that Xie Yixin has not gone out for a long time, but I didn't say that she has something to do with Young Master Yelu." You must know that Xie Yixin is not an ordinary person now! ”
"Something to say! Don't beat around the bush, if it's really Xie Yixin, I don't mind if you borrow a knife to kill someone. "Lord Mindan is not a fool either.
"Today, I was able to go to Dali Temple to visit the prison, all of which were taken care of by King Jing, and he also asked me to send a black fox mattress in, for fear that Xie Yixin would catch a cold. But Xie Yixin's bed is covered with tiger skin, and he doesn't look down on my leather mattress. As the concubine of King Jing, I think I have an obligation, so as not to let King Jing be fascinated by the villain, I can't see the concubine Niangniang, so I have to come to ask you, the county lord. Meng Baoying said it directly.
The county lord of Mingdan raised his hand to signal the tea, and when Qiu Ju served the tea, the lord of Mingdan took a sip of his tongue, and then said: "You are not qualified to see the concubine Niangniang now, and you may not have the opportunity to see the concubine Niangniang in the future." The county lord will go to Dali Temple to ask Xie Yixin first, if she is really related to Su Su's death, the county lord will greet her well. ”
"County Lord, Xie Yixin is notorious, and she is watery, so it's better to tell the concubine as soon as possible, and make a good plan early." Meng Baoying thought about it, only when Wei Guifei made a move, could she not be afraid of King Jing and directly destroy Xie Yixin.
The county lord of Mingdan didn't care, and directly served tea to the guests. Although Meng Baoying was displeased, she had no choice but to return unhappy.
The lord of Mingdan immediately left the house and drove to Dali Temple.
When she came to Dali Temple, Lord Liu, the secretary of the department, greeted her: "See the county lord, I don't know if the county lord is coming, what are you doing?" ”
"I want to see Xie Yixin." Lord Mindan said arrogantly.
Lord Liu's mind turned sharply, and he said respectfully: "Xie Yixin is a suspect in the murder of Han Jingru, and he can't visit the prison for the time being. ”
"Really? Meng Baoying can see it, but the county lord can't watch it? The county lord of Mingdan raised his eyebrows, and Danfeng's eyes widened angrily.
Secretary Liu still said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Lord Wang has orders, and the lower officials can only do it, and if the county lord has a warrant from Lord Wang, it is naturally okay." ”
"You! Good, good, worthy of being with your daughter all the way! I want to see Lord Huang of Dali Temple. "Lord Mingdan and Lord Huang have an old relationship, so they naturally want to find acquaintances.
After all, Secretary Liu was a junior official, so he could only recruit an attendant and ask him to tell Lord Huang, and glanced at the attendant, signaling him to go to Mo Shaoqing quickly.
After a while, Lord Huang, who received the report, hurried over: "See the county lord, I don't know what the county lord has?" ”
"It's nothing, I just want to go to Dali Temple to see an old man, Lord Liu Siwu disagrees, so I can only come to Lord Huang." Although the county lord of Mingtan has lost ground recently, Jiwei is still there.
When Lord Huang heard this, he immediately said: "The county lord does not think that the prison is dirty, and the subordinate officials should accompany him." ”
The lord of Mingdan County glanced at the secretary of Liu, and went to the prison of Dali Temple. When she came to the women's prison, she came to Xie Yixin's cell with the trembling female prisoner, and was stunned by the luxurious and elegant cell in front of her!
"Lord Huang, this is the prison of your Dali Temple, I think it is more beautiful than the boudoir of the average lady! Is this a prison sentence or a blessing? Lord Mindan said unhappily.
Lord Huang didn't expect that Xie Yixin's cell would be so luxuriously furnished, and asked the female prisoner angrily: "This is a place where felons are held, how did it become like this?" ”
The female prisoner knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Huang, this is the meaning of the above. ”
"What does that mean?" Lord Huang took another look at the cell, this is not something that can be done only with money, it must be done by being powerful and powerful. Thinking of this, he secretly flattered: Just with Lord Mo, I am afraid that I dare not act like this, is it Lord Wang?
